American ‘dirty reggae’ masters The Aggrolites<\/a><\/strong> are to have four of their albums repressed on vinyl in a major reissue campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band were formed in Los Angeles in 2002 as a live backing group for Jamaican reggae legend Derrick Morgan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were also asked to record music for a new album by the Housewives’ Choice singer, which was never released, but the sessions inspired them to become a band in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aggrolites have backed the likes of Phyllis Dixon, Prince Buster and Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, as well as touring with Madness, and releasing six studio albums of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent, last year’s Reggae Now!<\/strong> (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>), was released by US punk and ska label Pirates Press Records<\/a><\/strong> last year, and made it into many ‘best of 2019’ lists, including IPA Music’s (read it here<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pirates Press also reissued the band’s 2003 debut Dirty Reggae<\/strong>, which is how they describe their sound, which combines soul and funk with skinhead reggae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the label is to reissue another four albums from the band’s back catalogue, including one on vinyl for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first record is the band\u2019s 2006 self-titled <\/strong>LP, which was their first release on Hellcat. This album has long been out-of-print, with original pressings fetching up to three figures on the collectors’ market.

Their third album, Reggae Hit L.A<\/strong>., from 2007, has never been released on vinyl, despite featuring perhaps the best-known song in their set, Free Time. Pirates Press are about to put that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009 The Aggrolites sealed their reputation as one of the finest purveyors of modern reggae with their fourth album, simply titled IV<\/strong>. Again, it’s been out of print on vinyl for years.

Finally, 2011’s Rugged Road<\/strong>\u00a0rounds out the reissue campaign, and it’s a remastered version which fans will be keen to add to their collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four of The Aggrolites reissues will be available from the Pirates Press webstore HERE <\/a><\/strong>on 27 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
